Abstract: An industrial information identification and retrieval system includes: a crawler; a search engine; a result processor; and a web user interface “web UL” The crawler identifies devices and their associated Open Platform Communication Unified Architecture “OPC UA” servers within a network as identified OPC UA servers. The crawler browses the identified OPC UA servers and extracts and stores data items in a database as extracted data items. The search engine searches the extracted data items and provides search results to the result processor. The result processor determines a score for each search result. The web UI presents the search results according to the scores.

Abstract: A computer-implemented update management method for managing transfer of an application state from a source node to at least one target node of a distributed control system, includes identifying a first part of the application state which can be transferred independently of a second part of the application state; determining that the first part can be transferred from the source node to the at least one target node during one execution cycle of the application; performing a first partial update by transferring the first part of the application state from the source node to the at least one target node during a first execution cycle of the application; and performing a second partial update by transferring the second part of the application state from the source node to the at least one target node during a second, subsequent execution cycle of the application.

Abstract: An industrial field device replacement system includes: an input unit; and a processing unit. The input unit receives an identification of a specific device to be replaced, the specific device being in a network of a plurality of devices, and the input unit providing the identification of the specific device to the processing unit. Prior to replacement of the specific device, the processing unit determines one or more further devices of the plurality of devices that would be affected by replacement of the specific device, the determination including utilization of the identification of the specific device. Prior to replacement of the specific device, the processing unit changes a mode of operation of the one or more further devices from a normal mode into a safe mode such that the one or more further devices will not be affected when the specific device is not available.
